All aboard! New bus service brings even better connections to Broadnook Garden Village
Residents at Broadnook Garden Village are now able to enjoy convenient bus connections to Leicester city centre and surrounding villages, thanks to a new service launched last month.
The new Centrebus 24 and 24A routes, funded by Davidsons Homes and Cora Homes, connects the growing community with Leicester, Birstall, Sileby and Barrow-upon-Soar, making it easier for residents to travel for work, shopping, leisure and everyday activities.
With buses running up to every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday, alongside an hourly Sunday service and evening connections, the new routes provide residents with a convenient alternative to travelling by car.
And there’s even more good news for Broadnook residents, who can also benefit from a free six-month bus pass through the development’s LocalGO sustainable travel scheme, subject to eligibility and terms and conditions.
The scheme, which is funded by Davidsons Homes and Cora Homes and coordinated by GO Travel Solutions, offers residents a range of exclusive travel benefits, including discounts on railcards and savings at Halfords.
Stephanie King, Sales Director for Davidsons Homes said: “When people move into a new home, we want them to feel part of a community from day one. That means thinking beyond the homes themselves and making sure residents have the connections, facilities and opportunities they need to really enjoy where they live.
“This new bus service is fantastic news for our customers at Broadnook. Whether they’re commuting to work, heading into Leicester for a day out or visiting friends and family, having regular, reliable public transport on their doorstep will make everyday life that little bit easier.
“We’re passionate about creating places where communities can grow and thrive, and initiatives like this are a really important part of that. We’re looking forward to seeing residents make the most of the new service, alongside the additional travel benefits available through LocalGO.”
The new service forms part of the wider vision for Broadnook Garden Village, which is being developed with a focus on creating a welcoming, sustainable and well-connected community.
Residents are able to board the service on Broadway, with the new bus stop installed ahead of the launch.
